Abstract: A Fifth Generation New Radio (5GNR) User Equipment (UE) controls power consumption. In the 5GNR UE, control circuitry selects an initial 5GNR transmit power and signals the initial 5GNR transmit power to a 5GNR radio. The 5GNR radio transmits initial 5GNR signals at the initial 5GNR transmit power. The control circuitry identifies an excessive Uplink (UL) Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) Block Error Rate (BLER), and in response, selects a lower 5GNR transmit power and signals the lower 5GNR transmit power to the 5GNR radio. The 5GNR radio transmits subsequent 5GNR signals at the lower 5GNR transmit power. The UL HARQ BLER may be for a Long Term Evolution (LTE) access node.

Abstract: A source access node that is configured to hand over a wireless User Equipment (UE) to a target access node. A radio wirelessly receives a measurement report from the UE that characterizes signal strength for the target access node, the signal strength for the source access node, and UE capabilities for the UE. Baseband circuitry determines to hand over the UE to the target access node based on the measurement report. The baseband circuitry receives UE load information from the target access node that indicates UE loads for the frequency bands of the target access node. The baseband circuitry determines UE capabilities for the overloaded frequency bands. The baseband circuitry transfers handover instructions to the UE that direct the UE to remove UE capabilities for the overloaded frequency bands. The UE updates the UE capabilities list and hands over to a non-overloaded frequency band of the target access node.

The UE identifies an active media session, a UE fallback capability, and a network fallback availability. The UE measures a signal metric for the target access node and indicates the signal metric and UE fallback capability to the source access node. The source access node receives the indication the signal metric and the UE fallback capability. The source access node receives an access modification message for the UE from the wireless network controller. In response, the source access node initiates the hand over and transfers a handover message to the network controller. The network controller receives the handover message, transfers a handover request to the target access node, receives an acceptance from the target access node, and transfers a handover command for the wireless UE to the source access node.

Abstract: A wireless communication network serves a Protocol Data Unit (PDU) session type over a Radio Access Network (RAN). The wireless communication network comprises a Network Repository Function (NRF), Management and Orchestration (MANO) system, a User Plane Function (UPF), a RAN, and User Equipment (UEs). The NRF receives UPF requests for User Plane Functions (UPFs) that can serve the PDU session type over the RAN and responsively transfers UPF responses indicating other UPFs that cannot serve the PDU session type over the RAN. The NRF determines when the transfer of the UPF responses is excessive. In response, the NRF transfers an instantiation request to a Management and Orchestration (MANO) system to instantiate a new UPF that can serve the PDU session type over the RAN. The MANO system instantiates the new UPF. The new UPF serves the PDU session type to the UEs over the RAN.

Abstract: Communication circuitry associates a data source with a source Identifier (ID) and a cryptographic key and associates a data target with a target ID, contact token, contact condition, and contact information. The communication circuitry receives and decrypts the encrypted source ID, the encrypted target ID, and the encrypted contact token with the cryptographic key, and in response, authenticates the source ID, authenticates the target ID, and validates the contact token. When the authentication and validation are successful, the communication circuitry selects a portion of the contact information based on the contact condition, encrypts the selected contact information, and transfers the encrypted selected contact information to the data source. The data source uses the selected contact information and the contact token to transfer data to the data target. The data target uses the contact token to validate the data source.
